You will see a sliding orange bar with the title "Media", use your finger to turn it up full = move it to the right-most point the volume switch on the side has no effect here what-so-ever. This will control all other media than the original one installed.<br /><br />Please make sure you turn the volume down using the rocker on the right side.

Now increase the hardward volume and once you get to 200 you will get to the point where it hurts your ears. the volume goes on up a lot higher but then you will deafen your self.<br /><br />I have had the DX100 for several months and it is an extraordinary device. To compare it as alike to any phone or MP3 player means your are either a. deaf. b. just trying to cause a row.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327065140941709608.post-81050775936551282432012-09-14T10:50:19.536-07:002012-09-14T10:50:19.536-07:00The DX100 is poowerful enough to blow your ears ou...The DX100 is poowerful enough to blow your ears out even on low gain.

Using my Westone 4R, I had to put the volume at almost max. in order to get a decent sound level. I was surprised the sound from the DX100 was not as good as claimed my many people. And I compared it to my Samsung Galaxy 7.7 tablet. Either I did something wrong or there is gross exaggeration on the part of some owners of the DX100.

Everbody says and writes how awesome this player sounds but nobody really tries it. Believing that the DX100 is better than an iPod without doing a fair (i.e. FAIR) comparison is superstitious. And repeating what others are saying is even worse.<br /><br />A little less conversation, a little more action, please.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327065140941709608.post-86202377343608966472012-08-26T11:06:19.574-07:002012-08-26T11:06:19.574-07:00ipod vs dx100? place your bet man. i'll take i...ipod vs dx100? place your bet man. i'll take it on. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327065140941709608.post-3470136138493325762012-08-12T12:17:40.964-07:002012-08-12T12:17:40.964-07:00You never really compared them, did you?

Put the same music on your DX100 and your iPod (MP3 on iPod and uncompressed with many many KHz on DX100), and make sure the players have the same sound level. Now put on your headphones and ask somebody to randomly plug the phones into one of the players, without telling you, and behind your back.<br /><br />I bet you won't be able to tell to which player you are listening.<br /><br />Try it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327065140941709608.post-78043905846123776572012-07-18T14:40:59.412-07:002012-07-18T14:40:59.412-07:00Hey man the DX100 is miles ahead of the iPod and i...Hey man the DX100 is miles ahead of the iPod and is substantially better the the s9.
